5:01 am
abroad. he warned his opponents not to arrow -- not to bother challenging the vote. in asia, the u.s. vice president mike pence had a warning for north korean. weeks, thee past two world witnessed the strength of our new president in syria and afghanistan. north korea would do well not to test his resolve. taylor: mike pence urged china on north korea's nuclear wearables -- nuclear program. of forging and leaking state secrets. the chairman was also indicted on giving $6 million in bribes.

acceleratedeconomy for the second quarter innovaro. rose 6.9% in the first quarter from one year ago. new credit rose more than expected. global news, 24 hours a day. powered by our more than 2600 journalists and analysts, in more than 120 countries. i am taylor riggs. this is bloomberg. let's look at the markets. many markets are closed but we do have profound moves. equities,to that of futures, bonds, currencies. the two cent spread is the story and we will get to that with our chart in a moment. oil is off the big move. vix moves after the fear in the market you saw thursday before good friday. here is where we sit on the dow. yield, the-year
5:03 am
color is wrong on the chart. it should be read down the three basis points. down to 1.18. and there is the yen. 108.32 -- we will have conversation on that across this morning. let's go to the bloomberg. the trump fade and the fade is ier.ing fade- is that a word? the is a profound curve in trump phase. the yield curve is flattening out. here is the coup plot. delly go on the long-term fade and you have a real skew here downward. right now. so there we go with the first chart of the week. and we do go to friday and next monday.
5:04 am
francine lacqua will be in paris for the first round of elections and i will join her for the second round. we do want to get back to where the markets are and how it links in to one of the great calls on economic growth. nailed theumar has non-growth of the american economy. wonderful to have you with us. this is the linkage of a safe haven trade. do you look at this because of korea and the other politics? komal: there were two influences earlier that caused it to go down. in the a lack of growth pickup in the post trump rally and you and i have talked about this in past programs. you are not going to have a 3% 2017. in you may not have it in 2018 either.
5:05 am
that is one influence. and i have long maintained that inflation is not yet ready to pick up. and we saw the latest core consumer price index was actually down. deflation. so when you put them together, that says that the yield should come down and come down further. you have global uncertainties on top of that. --hird influence that as that is new. there.lso bring up the chart. this is the one quarter one off today. let's call this the komal sri kumar chart. this is an ugly first quarter. ugly first quarter. ugly fourth quarter. stay with me, it is a theme. is this a one off.
5:06 am
nailed a sub gdp growth. is there a one-off to the first quarter? or is this sustained? komal: i think it may not be sustained in the quarter to quarter basis. if you look at the year-over-year basis, we are decelerating and 2016 was one of the slowest recovery since the recession. in themay have a pickup subsequent quarters but they year as a whole is not doing well. so that suggests to me that something's really wrong with the way economic policy is being conducted in the aftermath of 2008 crisis. of gdp is part holding this back? isack of economic growth -- it because of consumption? or something else? consumption being 70% of gdp -- not doing well. the reason for that is because
5:07 am
of quantitative easement and all of that is contributing to it. and the average work week has been declining in a so-called deviant of good employment numbers and average weekly earnings have been decelerating in recent months, it also means the highest groups are doing well but they are not the big consumers. on the investment side, there is uncertainty as well. 70 representative gdp -- tom: there is a weight to it. komal: exactly. tom: what is the policy prescription? to get a lift up? -- l: increase the
5:08 am
tom: increase the minimum wage, i get that. komal: no, increase the hours that they work. jobseople who has multiple is up year on year so what that says to me is that you are not making enough money and you are cutting jobs and you have to be searching for new jobs. and if that changes then it will change consumption. tom: i was away for a few days. i did cheat and look at the screen. how does a guy like you, who has cautious,ght and so as wehe world is ending know it? komal: i would be more optimistic. the 10 year yield is going below 2%.
5:09 am
2.63 in the pump -- in the post trump rally. 220 area today. and if it goes down below 2%, i might start to become bearish which i have not been in quite a while. so that is where the changes come from. tom: i look at the yield. 102 basis points. we are almost back to everywhere with the idea of 100 -- i'm getting back used to it. i forgot, jason is waving at me. and lori is over here. to the trump back elections. what is the signal here will be see the boom in the market? komal: when the economy is slow, you will not have a steepening of the yield curve. when inflation is low, you will at have -- you have flattening. the third thing it says to me is
5:10 am
that a lot of people in the markets assume that just because the fed is increasing rates, the yield curve will skip. this is nothing to do with the fed raising interest rates. and whether it is steep or flat, depends on what happens to the economy and i see further flattening. tom: under 100 basis points? we will come back and talk about that. because no one is prepared for 98 basis points. was that jargon enough for you in the morning? we've spent that to you when we come back. coming up, a discussion with meghnad desai. how about that for jargon? stay with us. this is bloomberg. ♪

taylor: this is "bloomberg surveillance." futures fell in new york on worries that the increase in u.s. production will count of those efforts by opec and russia to curb. financial is trying to win a bidding war for money gram. they raised its bid for the u.s. -- $1.2 billion. you're a net has a competing offer for money gram on the table. and carnivores can rejoice. stakes and burgers will be cheaper this summer. americans are expected to eat 8% more red meat then poultry this
5:14 am
year. this is because of falling prices in grocery stores. that is your bloomberg business flash. tom: a story that is changed in back then, it was turkey. president has a victory and there was talk of a complete referendum towards dictatorship. good morning -- is this a dictatorship? well, we have yet to find out. the reality is that the president did get the majority here. it is a slim majority but he did get the majority, nonetheless. it won't happen overnight. this is the biggest change since 93 years ago. in terms ofke time
5:15 am
legislative effect. what i watch out for is the and the voices from the european. have a listen to what the deputy prime minister had to say. >> let's not make decisions at this stage. in the sense that it hasn't been brought to the agenda. and whether or not parliament would approve it is a second issue. even if parliament approves it, whether it is approved is a separate issue. you know, it would allow turkey to wayne and let's not overdo it. yousef: a strong reaction there from the deputy prime minister of turkey. i have been in the streets over the last 48 hours. i have heard first-hand a lot of
5:16 am
support that is out there for the president. they see him as a strong man, a man it was willing to support their values. but the other side of that is that people have concerns that you are risking the checks and balances. tom: what is really unbalanced is to the south and that is the syrian border. update us on president duda one -- the turkish president's reaction? on syria? yousef: he has been on the campaign trail and he hasn't really been putting this as a priority. ultimately, the theme of the geopolitical uncertainties around syria have been a big part of the agenda because he wants the additional powers to be able to defend the country more, to be able to negotiate better and give him the leverage that is going to make a difference to the average turkish person. whether that materializes remains to be seen.
5:17 am
theespecially with uncertainty coming from russia, and other powers, that is a complex nests that we have yet to figure out. , thankusef gamal el-din you so much. it is temple for the historic election. with us now is komal sri kumar. can you keep this stuff removed from markets? in the u.s. economy? or do you have to fully in the global uncertainty? komal: i think it will increasingly pay a role in economic policy. as if it gets to decide what the interest rates are going to be and is based on u.s. economic growth and they will be but affected by global developments. you talked earlier about the pickup in chinese economic
5:18 am
growth. as taylor said a few minutes ago, growth is also accelerated. and that is the way the chinese have kept up growth. and if that comes to a halt for any reason, because of debt defaults are other issues, it will have an impact on the united states and on fed policy. into --t is he seems what are the themes into the three or four day weekend? better emerging markets. i believe that includes turkey. do you believe the theme that while the u.s. may struggle, we do get a better emerging market economy? komal: they are developing and two things are contributing. one, the fed is going to be slower in hiking rates than the market expects, which is always good for the emerging markets. and secondly, president trump has been talking down the dollar and that is something the emerging markets welcome as well. the real unknown is what will
5:19 am
happen to oil prices. lower oil prices are not good for emerging markets. side, the issue that i have is that the turkish president has an issue in interfering and policymaking with the central bank setting up interest rates. and if you are to do that again, to have more power, it would be negative. tom: the knock on effects to the to set- we were talking -- we were you talking to komal sri kumar and yousef gamal el-din. this is bloomberg. ♪

5:24 am
bring it into where jamie dimon's and others. here is the election, the day after. in the three months, five-year spread. we are literally back to where we were the day of the election. back. essentially i think the spread is telling you a story, the message is the same. they do not have a story for the steepening of the yield curve. the steepening occurred in the immediate aftermath of the election, one that stocks said growth was going to pick up. to ask you this question since nobody is watching because the world is closed today. why do we have a three-day workweek and francine lacqua has four days off? i don't get what that is about. jamie dimon makes money.
5:25 am
bring up the chart, get with it. jamie dimon makes money up at the top. could he make money here? komal: if it were to flatten, the banks would not make money. i think that is where the change will take place in the banking sector. so they do need a steepening yield curve and it was expected. and it was supposed to come. if health care is going to take they're all being set back and i think that is being deflected in equity prices. overall in the banking sector. help me with what bill says. retirees neighbors will not get ahead given inflation? komal: that is because they don't have much interest income.
5:26 am
the question is, will this continue to support them in the medium term? that is where the risk lies. in a lothere has been of exuberance in the equity market. is with ussri kumar ad andrew lo will join us in moment. we can check out the markets. markets are on the move. the vix is 16.27, elevated after he difficult thursday. look at the yen, that is a wow statistic. the safe haven. this is bloomberg. ♪

astronomy. see in with what we turkey with the president to not so much will we see in france but the comfort of authority and aristocracy and dictatorship? is that the euro we are going into with populism? meghnad: it is a failure of politics. the people. what happened in 2008, the crisis, normal policy failed to contain but worsened the situation by letting the bankers off and gave them lost more money for quantitative easing. saying, if this is normal, liberal politics, we don't want it. we want something else. we want someone in charge. and i think this is where the turkish president and to some extent donald trump was elected
5:34 am
on that process. kumar is here with us. what permeates france is the lack of economic growth. prescription for whoever wins the election to jumpstart it? what does france need to do? do -- what they need to the impact of the 2008 economy, the reason why marine le pen is doing so well in the polls, take a look at the youth unemployment rate at over 20% in the case of france and never learned, where the mainstream candidate won in march, the low 10% and that is the big difference. if you look at the polls, only the 64-year-olds and higher, the recipients of social benefits, do not support marine le pen.

5:54 am
the missile, to hit seattle or california -- those are the dangers things which are influencing. tom: the basic idea on a monday is to look at the global safe haven. we have shown this many times before. is thisd to know for a is a good toyota. this is a weaker yen. they do a set of policies to get out to that and get back where they are. said no.ts and they say no again. we assume this is a safe haven. it is a statement on the economics that you see? komal: an excellent question. is it a safe haven if you have a debt to gdp ratio? the answer is that it typically
5:55 am
would not be the case. the fact that japanese that is mostly held by japanese savers and the fact that we have influencers in the bond market taking advantage of what can happen in the bond market, longer-term, i don't see that either. and plan to gdp, the money question everybody wants to know from you, is the site christ with a lousy first quarter rebounding to pretty good gdp? says who? i 3% run rate? a two .3%? gdp? which one of the formulas will make that happen? they have seen the first quarter remaining week for the last three years. and that is one reason they look to the pickup. whathey're looking for components will come out of this.

if investment spending will pick up. i haven't observed that. and if you have a situation where that doesn't happen in 2018 oh 2019. that won't happen either. that is why you won't have a big pickup in the remaining quarters. has been fabulous. komal sri kumar and meghnad desai were in this hour. coming up, steve case of america online. david rubenstein loves his book. steve case on one of the political events right now. sanctuary cities. this is bloomberg. ♪

6:43 am
? robert: we are already seeing comments this morning from boj governor kuroda, easy monetary policy is necessary in japan, they are still far away from their target. named the currency manipulator, but being named the monetary list. not surprising that that happened, and it has happened before. but clearly the japanese want to avoid further strength in the end. we have had an important break, 200 day moving average is $1 08.82. now they have got the technical momentum going in favor of a weaker dollar yen, u.s. rates are coming back down, that supports a weaker dollar yen, so i think we will see some heightened commentary and sort of verbal intervention from the japanese leadership as we go through the next couple of days. tom: bring up the chart right now, dollar-yen, i will give you an idea of the benchmark for mr.

"surveillance ultimate -- steve: ultimately she did. combining it with aol, moving the initiative forward, but it highlights the difficulty, particularly in the technology iterate, continuing to continuing to disrupt, cannell belies your own business -- cannibalize your own business, imagine what his next, and that will become a bigger deal in the third wave. tom: this is important, and i talked with tim armstrong on this -- about this on "surveillance" two weeks ago,

how do you move from entrepreneurship to being almost a dinosaur or industrial technology company? how does aol do that? how does yahoo! do that? you are using an entrepreneurial pixie dust. steve: obviously we did. it is something that i find disappointing, and it tied to the merger of aol and time warner. you have to keep laying the pieces and focus on what is happening next. a hockey player does not focus on where the puck was, he focuses on where the puck is going to you have to experiment and keep trying things. as companies get larger, they get more risk-averse, they manage, not imagine, and if it does not work the first time, they go, "that is not a good idea." a lot of these things that were not good ideas initially end up being great ideas eventually.

reaction of the year right and unloading his company to the local phone utility. many would say he would have the transaction of your era, unloading your company to a stodgy media company. what is your prescription for elon musk? his moonshot valuation over the need to haveoes he shareholder response ability and unload tesla like you guys? steve: i don't think so. , and it wase run-up the best-performing stock of the decade. part of our objective was to put a floor under the stock, and we needed a path. we were quite concerned -- we were the leaders in dial-up, but we did not have a path to broadband. i don't see that being similar and tesla. they've been launching new cars, energy lines some other kinds of things, so stay the course and make sure you're continuing to -- even as you get bigger -- continue to figure out ways to stay agile, and look for ways to
